http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/08/29/pit-bull-owners-face-decision-to-abandon-their-dogs-or-be-evicted-from-their-homes/ I read an article today about a ruling in Baltimore, MD, that is forcing pit bull owners to either abandon their dogs, or be evicted from their homes. Even though I am not...

Hey ya'll, I have a rabbit (domestic escapee) who has been living loose in our yard for over a month now, and I've be unable to catch her. Anyway, she was okay till today---when I came out to feed the other caged rabbits, she wasn't walking right. She sort of weaved and fell on her side, then...

Okay soo our two dogs are just infested with fleas, and it's getting to be a real pain. They're constantly scratching, and smell bad too. Usually it isn't this bad, but our JRT mix has developed a flea allergy in the last couple years, and it's just awful. He stinks too. So---I need help on...

Help! My Guinea Keets are dropping dead everywhere. One of my Guinea hens hatched 21 keets between the July 4th and 7th. Now I've got 11, and one is dying as I write this. I don't know if it's an illness, injury or genetic factor. First I thought they weren't getting enough water---but their...

I have a cochin hen that has been broody for over a week now, and I was thinking about getting a few cornish rock chicks from TSC. Would it be possible to give them to her to raise? Has anyone done this with success? Thank you, MC

I wasn't sure where to post this, but.. I'm going to be downsizing my flock once all the hens come back into lay, but I'm not sure how to price them. The ones I would like to sell are (6) between 8-18months old, mostly cochin crosses and cochin/BA crosses. Most of them lay small-medium light...

wow....so...my dad & siblings just got home an hour ago with a green budgie and a betta fish. Great early Christmas present....NOT. I mean, they meant well and all, and I don't mind having a pretty fish (I've had one before), but a budgie? Sure, he's pretty, and he's small, but dang it, he kept...

Just thought I'd share a story...'bout my little house chickens. In early July, my broody hens hatched some chicks---but one egg (a day late), was cracked open too early. The lil chick still had his yolk out, and I didn't think he'd survive. But I kept him moist and warm and he sealed...

my mom & lil siblings just made a trip to the dumpster this morning, and my siblings said that while they were unloading the trash, they heard whining/scratching/yipping coming from inside one of the dumpsters. they looked around the dumpsters, and inside but didn't really know what to do...

This morning when I went to feed my guinea pair & their 15 keets, I found 2 dead babies and 1 barely alive (it died shortly after I found it). Another six were missing. I'm 99% sure it was a coon. Dang it we had 20 guineas total and now we only have 11. I never thought something would come...

I just found a crow in our yard. He was hopping around, and tried to fly but can't get more than a couple feet up. I haven't touched him cuz I'm afraid he might be sick or something (a couple days ago I found a robin on the ground panting/hanging his head...so I'm a little creeped out.) It's...

one of my broody hens just stepped on one of her eggs and cracked it ( so that the chick was almost completely out). The chick has been pipping, so he was supposed to hatch soon, but he's not completely ''sealed up''. I've got him in a damp paper towel in my hand so he stays warm & a little...

One of our roosters in an almost 28month old hatchery red Bantam cochin, and he is just the best rooster ever! Not long ago, he was out free ranging and found a bunch of mulberries, and he picked one up and called the hens over, and he let them eat all the berries. Then yesterday he was out in...

*sigh* i'm not really sure how to start this, but.... On 5/17 & 18 my broody hen hatched two adorable chicks. They seemed completely healthy. The hen had been setting in our goats shed (in the milking room), and which is fairly-securely guarded by the goats. Anyhow, yesterday my mom went out to...

Earlier this morning my dad found a duckling in our garden. He is very young, probably hatched yesterday (still has his egg tooth). He is a mallard or mallard/pekin cross (there is a trio of pekin/mallard ducks that live on our street) Anyhow, the issue is he has horribly curled toes! He's...

It's the Broody bug. It's spreading like mad and it is incurable. End of march, 2 of my hens went broody--hatched 3 chicks 4/17. Early May, 2 more hens go broody--hatch 2chicks 5/26 Saturday evening, my bantam cochin cross decided to spend a night in the nest box. Now she moved into the...

Hey all, I've finally gotten back on the forum, and like a gazillion things have happened. most importantly , My rabbit gave birth early yesterday morning , to 10 KITS! she's a fairly small rabbit (5-6lbs) never had a litter this big. I don't have any other does, so I can't foster. But I'd...
